Just Go With It, an Adam Sandler / Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy. Somebody remind me the last time either of them had a hit?

The Eagle. Every time I see this trailer I swear I think it’s Coriolanus, but it’s not. I have no idea what it is, though. There’s ghosts, what appear to be indians, and Roman centurions. I’ve just learned in this article that it’s based on a book – I had no idea if it was supposed to be a comic graphic novel or what.

And last but not least …. Justin Bieber. In 3D. The less said about this, the better.

So, wait, did I say who would win at the box office? I think young Mr. Bieber may have my gnomes at a disadvantage.

One thought on “Box Office Best Bets?”

The Eagle is based on the Rosemary Sutcliff children's book Eagle of the Ninth, written in the 1960s or 70s (I read it in 1977). It's about an ex-centurion (injured) in Britain, whose father was in the Ninth Legion, and he (the main character) goes north to find out what happened to them. Unfortunately based on a premise that archaeology has subsequently proven to be completely wrong, but I certainly enjoyed it a lot when I was about 12, and I am planning to see the movie.
